Belgian U23 coach Serge Pauwels on the upcoming Tour de l'Avenir:

"🇧🇪 Jarno Wildar is in great shape and 🇫🇷 Paul Seixas is something of a phenomenon. Finishing eighth in his first Dauphiné at the age of 18 is incredible. It will be a great duel, a bit like Pogacar versus Vingegaard."

Col de la Madeleine – All Four Routes I cycled the north side of Col de la Madeleine the other day with my friend Philippe. I thought I’d post here details on all four ways to climb this majestic, monster col. Each option include…

A great climb, but this might be my least favourite of the three paved routes up Madeleine, solely as ski station near summit attracts some traffic. There's a quieter paved option on this side.

A stage we’ll never forget 🤩

Wout van Aert and Tadej Pogačar gifted us a legendary duel on the streets of Paris in Stage 21 of the Tour de France, with the Belgian coming out on top after a brutal attack on the slopes of Côte de Butte Montmartre.

#Roglanarod, a little gem for you: Roglic calmly stopped alone on top of Montmartre, put his rain jacket on slowly with a broad smile and just soaked in the atmosphere. The crowd was roaring at him like he won the whole thing 🥹

Matt: "Wout, where have you been this Tour de France?"

Wout: "Yeah I was just hiding in the bunch for 20 stages and waiting for my moment"

At least Wout took it in good humour 😆

Marianne Martin and Laurent Fignon - TdF 1984. The women’s race had 18 stages covering around 1,000 kilometers — roughly a fourth of the men’s mileage. The women raced on the same days as the men, riding the last 60 kilometers of the same route ahead of the male cyclists.

Image shows a screenshot of Ivan Romeo and his wounds from his crash in stage 19 of the Tour today, taken by CyclingImages on Instagram.

This photo from CyclingImages shows how bad Ivan Romeo’s day was.

Brutal end to a long three weeks for the young Spanish rider. Rest up Romeo 😭

🗣️ "It's really special. It’s the TDFF, it's the first day you can’t really describe what it means. As bonus to take the yellow jersey.. I'm really thankful for the team and especially for Pauline on the final climb."

if we want female cycling not go the way of the sport dodo internationally long term (aka the feared cyclocross treatment w/ both genders), there's gotta be more countries competitive next few years. this top 10 of the TDFF exemplifies how there's one dominant country, 6 out of 10 are from NL
